Potato Bread

Take six good-sized potatoes, boil and mash very fine. Add three pints of boiling water. Stir flour in till it makes a stiff batter. When lukewarm, add yeast; set it in a moderately warm place. In the morning add the salt and knead in flour as stiff as you can. Set in a warm place to rise; knead again, adding as little flour as possible. Let it rise again, and then put it into your pans, making them half full. When the loaves have risen to the top of the pans, bake them to a nice rown.
